Patent CA-2582749-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BARRICK JEFFREY
IPC: C07H21/04
Filed: 2005-10-07
Abstract: It has been discovered that certain natural mRNAs serve as metabolite-sensitive genetic switches wherein the RNA directly binds a small organic molecule. This binding process changes the conformation of the mRNA, which causes a change in gene expression by a variety of different mechanisms.  Modified versions of these natural "riboswitches" (created by using various nucleic acid engineering strategies) can be employed as designer genetic switches that are controlled by specific effector compounds. Such effector compounds that activate a riboswitch are referred to herein as trigger molecules. The natural switches are targets for antibiotics and other small molecule therapies. In addition, the architecture of riboswitches allows actual pieces of the natural switches to be used to construct new non-immunogenic genetic control elements, for example the aptamer (molecular recognition) domain can be swapped with other non-natural aptamers (or otherwise modified) such that the new recognition domain causes genetic modulation with user-defined effector compounds. The changed switches become part of a therapy regimen-turning on, or off, or regulating protein synthesis.  Newly constructed genetic regulation networks can be applied in such areas as living biosensors, metabolic engineering of organisms, and in advanced forms of gene therapy treatments.

Title: Reactor for simultaneous separation of hydrogen and oxygen from water
Inventor: KONGMARK NILS
IPC: C01B13/02
Filed: 2004-12-16
Abstract: We disclose a device for the production of hydrogen from water using heat. The device employs thermal water splitting and works essentially without electricity. It is based on the concept of a membrane reactor with two kinds of membranes allowing the separation of hydrogen and oxygen simultaneously in stoichiometric quantities from the reactor volume. The device has a special geometry resulting in a temperature distribution inside the reaction chamber to accommodate the use of hydrogen selective membranes. The device will help to reduce the need for hydrogen transport and storage as it will be rather compact for on-site use in households, small factories or gas stations. The use of the device in mobile applications is conceivable. The heat source of the device as described is combustion of a hydrocarbon using porous burner technology; however the device can be modified to exploit any other heat source, especially solar radiation.

Filed: 2007-12-27
Abstract: A turbine rotor has a row of turbine blades associated with a circumferential groove in a disk, each turbine blade having foot received in the groove, a blade profile above the foot, and a shroud plate above the profile. Each blade foot and each shroud plate have end surfaces and side surfaces which form a rhomboid, the end surfaces of each shroud plate tapering toward each other along respective radii and abutting the end surfaces of adjacent shroud plates to form a closed ring. The blade profiles are torsionally stressed by applying a force to each plate in a direction parallel to the axis of the disk, thereby twisting the cover plates through an angle alpha so that the side surfaces of adjacent cover plates are circumferentially aligned in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. This force is maintained by clamping devices applied to the combs of adjacent blades.
